He had ties to Gov. Tim Walz. Don't know if it's related, but Rep. Hortman recently supported repealing healthcare benefits for illegal aliens.

The suspect in the assassinations of former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, as well as the shooting of State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, has reportedly been identified.
“I'm told by a police source in Minnesota the suspect in the shootings of MN state lawmakers is Vance Luther Boelter,” Julio Rosas of The Blaze reports on X. “It appears it is the same Boelter who was appointed to the Governor’s Workforce Development Board in 2019 by Gov. Tim Walz. He appointed to the Governor's Workforce Development Council in 2016 by then-Gov. Mark Dayton.”
According to the AP, "Two people familiar with the matter identified the suspect being sought as 57-year-old Vance Boelter. The people could not publicly discuss details of the ongoing investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity."
“Because of the special trust and confidence I have in your integrity, judgment, and ability, I have appointed and commissioned you to have and to hold the office of Business Member [to the] Governor’s Workforce Development Board,” Boelter's notice of appointment reads.
Boelter's term began Dec. 14, 2019, and ended Jan. 2, 2023.
Governor Tim Walz labeled the shooting a “politically motivated assassination,” and authorities recovered a manifesto naming both Democrat and Republican lawmakers as targets. The shooter, dressed as a police officer, struck both homes in the early hours of Saturday morning. The attacks come amid rising political tensions and coincide with the now-canceled “No Kings” protests planned in Minneapolis.
"We’re here today because an unspeakable tragedy has unfolded in Minnesota," Walz said at a press conference on Saturday. "My good friend and colleague Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, were shot and killed earlier this morning in what appears to be a politically motivated assassination."
Meta has blocked the Facebook account linked to Vance Luther Boelter.
Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed the FBI is involved in the ongoing investigation. "I am closely monitoring developments in Minnesota after what appears to be a targeted attack against state lawmakers," she said in a statement. "The FBI is on the ground investigating this case alongside state and local partners. This horrific violence will not be tolerated and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
President Trump has also issued a statement.
"I have been briefed on the terrible shooting that took place in Minnesota, which appears to be a targeted attack against State Lawmakers,” Trump said. “Our Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and the FBI, are investigating the situation, and they will be prosecuting anyone involved to the fullest extent of the law. Such horrific violence will not be tolerated in the United States of America.”
Due to the ongoing waves of strategic airstrikes by Israel against Iranian military, leadership, and nuclear facilities. there is a very high likelihood of cyber attacks by Iranian assets, as well as by other actors aligned with Iran. In the previous 24 hours there have been cyber attacks against nation-state websites and other online services in Europe and the middle-east. Today (Thursday) there were numerous reported disruptions to internet-based communications services (sources being compiled now), with no confirmed cause or responsible parties named.
AmRRON will remain at AmCON 3 until further notice, and we will continuously be monitoring the situation. Additional changes to the AmCON level, and any special instructions or guidance, will be posted here, as well as through the AmRRON member Telegram Channel, the AmRRON Corps Z-Net, and the AmRRON Mobile Team App.
Special instructions:
Inspections and functions checks on communications equipment, backup power supply systems, and all supporting equipment, etc. Replace batteries or charge all batteries, top off fuel supplies Avoid unnecessary travel
In the event of grid down:
Check local radio and television news sources for additional information If local news is offline, tune to local scanner and VHF/UHF (ham) repeaters to ascertain any additional information Tune in to the AmRRON digital HF Persistent Presence Net and monitor while you are producing your initial STATREP Submit your STATREP over HF via Commstat (preferrably), or by FLMSG, or plain text, at your earliest opportunity Tier 4+, Tier 5, and Tier 6 stations collect all available STATREPs and summarize the information for your Initial Event Summary Refer to your Signals Operating Instructions to identify the next scheduled net Follow instructions of NCS and have any traffic (SITREPs if reporting an event with details or narrative) prepared and ready to send NCSs will ask for any Priority (or higher) traffic for the net. Transmit your call sign, state, and the precedence level of your traffic (Example 1 PPP indicates one piece of Priority traffic). NCS will then ask for Routine traffic after Priority or higher traffic is handled. Any changes to the net schedule or additional instructions and guidance will be relayed over the Persistent Presence Nets and scheduled nets. All official traffic from AmRRON National will be authenticated (digitally signed) using the ‘AmRRON Actual’ PGP key, as is standard practice.
The fighting has just begun, but it sure sounds like the victory will very likely go to Israel. They've decapitated the Iranian leadership and the nuclear scientists, and they seem determined to continue the attacks until Iran is no longer a threat. The very fact that Iran hasn't responded yet seems to indicate they are in disarray.
But I'm a trapper, and I know it ain't over until it's over. A rapped coyote won't give up until it's dead,and a trapped raccoon will tear your leg off given half a chance. There's still a lot of fighting to be done, but I just don't see Iran coming out of this with very much power left.
I'm not calling it the Mexican Revolution, either.
This group of communist, socialist, progressive turds has everyone involved who you'd imagine would be at a super-secret High Table meeting in a remote location last fall to plot a violent, nationwide opposition to Trump sometime during the next Summer of Love.
Oh, hello.
THEY'RE BACK
And do they ever have their advertising spiel together already.
Snappy af graphics and organization links all locked on.
On June 14th, President Trump shares a birthday with the US Army, and it just happens to be their 250th. In the words of our former rumored president, that's a BFD in anyone's book, so there's a planned military review and parade in D.C. that day to celebrate.
Which is irritating the Schlitz out of the malcontents....
Read the whole thing at the link. And, on June 14 (this coming Saturday), watch your 6. This could get interesting.

A number of NGOs have been implicated in this. Foremost is Coalition for Humane Immigration Rights or CHIRLA, and the photos of signs show they were printed by PSLWEB / Party for Socialism and Liberation. pic.twitter.com/yS7jXkHGJ8

CHIRLA has the EIN of 954421521. Most of its private funding appears to be from DAFs, which are the hardest to trace. However 34 million of its reported 45 million in revenue are from government grants. pic.twitter.com/u7GK7UILPM

In their most recent year, CHIRLA jumped from 12 million to 34 million in government grants. Nice!
